Test pipes **Health Advisory**
Hello, I was wondering since I'm running test pipes, like alot of other people are. I get a stronge smell of fumes especially when I'm sitting at a light. If this could be a health issue?

Everything is a health issue....... I am sure extra fumes from testpipes aren't that good for you. Try riding behind someone with test pipes.

Next time, make a more appropriate thread title. It looked like you were posting a health advisory, not asking about gas or exhaust smell because you're running test pipes.

I drove behind SmoothZ for a few hours before.
His test pipes gave me a bad headache and made me really lightheaded.

A good example of the effect of long term exposure to auto exhaust without cats.
